Sorceress' Apprentice (Open)

[xepte]

Merlin's crescent moon mark glowed in response to the activation of the elements. He watched as Jadis elevated the elements, and watched Antique go into a ball shape. This should be interesting...

The elements begun to spin about her, and as this happened, Merlin stood up. He put out his right hand, the one with the star mark on it, and lowered some of his house wards, so they wouldn't attack Antique, while strengthening others to prevent her from causing damage to the main structures of the house. He also extended the house, making it bigger, and giving a clear radius around Antique's chair, in case things got bad. He watched the bowl of fire get knocked to the ground and nodded. That was expected... she is either going to be an Earth type or a Water type... maybe both...We shall see.

Air soon disappeared, leaving Spirit, Earth, and Water spinning around her. Merlin's wards detected the earth moving, reacting, and was rather surprised when the vines and feelers broke through the ground and wrapped around Antique. Merlin's Crescent moon shape started glowing again, and he looked at it confusedly. he was about to ask Jadis a question when suddenly the roots retreated into the fallen Earth bowl.

Then he felt the water outside of the house start to race around the house, pulling fish and other things into its swirl. the water was moving quite strongly before the spirit bowl vanished, and then Merlin was sure. Ah... water. This is not surprising, especially since Jadis is here... I wonder...

And then, a split second before it happened, Merlin felt a tiny shock. He looked up in time to see Antique's eyes open, then the water engulfed her completely.

The crescent moon glowed again, and Merlin circled the tube. "Huh... She panicked."

Pointing a finger at the tube, Merlin closed his eyes for a second, opening them back up immediately after, and the vial of water stopped spinning, and started to recede. Merlin released his command of the water after Antique's head was uncovered, and he could feel the water being held in place by Antique's subconscious.

"That went surprisingly well. The water didn't crush her, I don't think she's blacked out.." Merlin looked at Caxnon, and then Jadis. "Now what do you want to do?"

[Rex]

Caxnon was quite impressed by Antique's element. So she controlled water, that was unexpected. The nobody thought that the element suited her. Caxnon listened to merlin's question, then decided to give it a try.

'' I'll start'' was he said.

The gunblader cleared his mind and focused on the elements in front him. He waited several minutes, and finally he was able to see the bowls in front of him; which he found rather odd. The objects started to circle the nobody.

Slowly the Fire element suddenly disappeared from the nobody's sight. The water itself, simply changed course and and returned to it's original position. The earth stayed completely still, not reacting with the being. This left only wind and spirit.

A gust of wind formed around the nobody but it was brief, as it passed him a moment later. The strange empty bowl that was left came in front of the nobody.

A jet of white light came from the floor lighting up the male. This displaly lasted for several minutes, and for some reason it refused to stop.

Caxnon just stat there motionless, as If he was asleep.

"Oh dear, I didn't think they would suffer fatique with such introduction. Then again, so many are forced to grow so quickly at such a young age." Flexing her fingers, orbs of darkness was made before stretching out in a sheet before shuffling under the sleeping frames. It domed down performing the force of gravity causing the two to levitate.

Slowly she walked up to Antique placing her hand on her forehead before checking her pulse to see if her body was still panicking with anxiety.

"I would say the lucky one is the child of nothingness. His element is spirit, but spirit is broken into three categories: darkness, light, and nothingness. As a child of nothingness, it would be logical that he would be tied to nothingness. Any other element can lead to his demise, since light rejects nothingness and darkness devours. That still doesn't explain that light. I wonder if he's injured by it. Do you have any idea of this new question and a place for them to slumber?"

Jadis rose from her little check-up on Antique and looked back towards Merlin.

[antique]

Antique curled up much like an exhausted cat. If she had been conscious, she would have felt extremely sore and fatigued. It felt as if years of magick had been kept under a tight lid, and had finally been released. It was pleasant, but it wasn't, at the same time.

But there was a peaceful look about her face as she slumbered; the sleeping face of a child.

Though asleep, she could hear the water outside, the fish swimming within it--but something further, the sounds of water rushing elsewhere. In her dreams, she was swimming downwards in her element, a ball of light, brighter than the sun, near the bottom. It felt warm, though it was out of her reach.

It felt right as she floated, and slowly sank deeper into slumber.

[xepte]

Merlin looked at Caxnon and Antique's Aura once again. Neither exuded a sense of pain or discomfort, so Merlin nodded. "I do believe they are becoming acquainted with their own elements. As for that light... this may be because he walks in the light and it does not hurt him? Hmm....." Merlin rubbed his beard, deep in thought.

"As for sleeping arrangements..." Merlin waved his hand, and a hole opened up in the ceiling. A spiral staircase slowly unraveled itself from the hole, and lights sprang to life in the upper room. "They should be fine up there, the wards are strong enough to keep someone or something of my own caliber out. There will be five beds, and you can always summon more, should you choose. two of the beds will be... Special." Merlin shrugged. "Go on up and see for yourself." As Merlin spoke, both Caxnon and Antique slowly rose off the floor and into the air, slowly floating through the ceiling and into the upper room. Merlin brought himself into the upper room, gently directing Antique and Caxnon into their respective beds, putting Antique into a bed that rippled like wavelets in a pond as she was gently placed in it, the very sheets emulating water as they rose up to cover the girl's shoulders. Caxnon was placed in another bed that seemed to be made of mists, swirling and fluffy, with light patches and dark patches, blended with shadows. The bed received him in a similar way, with all of the patches turning to a light gray color radiating out from his body, then resuming their swirling of the three colors.

With that, Merlin wiped his hands, and walked back down to his fluffy chair and sipped at his tea. "hmmmm..." Looking at Jadis once again, he smiled. "they should be fast asleep until morning. I suggest you sleep up there too, if you'd like. I'll be going to my own bed eventually, the one with the crescent moon design."

((Skip!))

"Just because he walks with the figurative language of good doesn't guarantee immunity of an element. It's like a nobody conducting darkness, quite a contradiction that will tip the universe's scale even more. All of these imblanaces are quite hazardous." The Ice Witch hummed as the mental picture of more worlds and hearts be devoured by two mortal enemies. It seemed a blessing for people to remain standing when two predators, which one that can easily be duplicate, have a similar prey. How long would it be until there's no one left?

After seeing the conditions of her apprentices, Jadis merely nodded concluding that they were both indeed safe. Which gave a sense of comfort to not stay for the night, but return in the morrow. Descending down the stairs, she politely denied his offer claiming she had other affairs to attend to, and she will return in the morning when the sky was just as black as the night.

[xepte]

Merlin nodded as Jadis left, thinking about what could possibly happen to a Nobody with a spirit magic affiliation. As he pondered, his robes changed from a solid royal purple to a swirl of grey tones with moons and stars dotting on them.

Walking up to his own bed, Merlin let out a sleepy yawn and put himself to sleep.

Several hours later, the time biologically deemed as morning, Merlin sleepily opened his eyes. Sitting up, he yawned, scratched his head through his long silvery hair, and stretched, rotating his upper body slowly from side to side. As he got out of bed, he grabbed his glasses and made his way down into the big room.

A kitchen appeared with a wave of his right hand, and with another wave, breakfast started cooking. Eggs cracked themselves and made an omelet for Merlin, with tomatoes, basil and shredded Parmesan cheese, all freshly grown and prepared. As this was cooking, a string of cured sausages sliced themselves up, and jumped into the pan, soon sizzling away. as they finished cooking, they hopped out onto a plate. Merlin smiled, the smells of deliciousness wafting about through the entire place.

Waving his hand again, a table appeared, set for the three people in the house and then one more appeared in case Jadis was hungry when she came back. As Merlin walked near the food, a plate rose and flew into his hand, the pan flipped his omelet into it, and he waved several pieces of the sausage onto it.

Sitting down at the table, Merlin picked up a fork and a knife and was about to dig in when he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around, smiled, and indicated the busy kitchen.

"Go ahead and ask for breakfast. Today it's eggs, however you'd like them, and then there is sausage too. And toast, which I forgot." Merlin waved his hand and a piece of toast flew out of the toaster and onto his plate, where he quickly buttered it and then drizzled honey on top. Indicating the kitchen, he said; "Please, help yourself!"

And then, he commenced eating, slowly and thoughtfully chewing and swallowing. His eyes focused on something distant as he ate, as he was pondering. Pondering depth, light, shadows, gray matter, and darkness, mixed in with many other random things as well.

[Rex]

Caxnon woke with a start. He woke up in a strange bed room, and it seemed that Antique wasn't in it, which made sense. He stood up and walked down the stairs and found Merlin eating his breakfast. He wasn't that hungry...come to think of it, he was never hungry. He simply sat down in front of merlin.

'' Had a nice rest?'' he asked.

[antique]

Antique made her way (stumbled) down the stairs at the smell of food. Her stomach grumbled--and she had no idea where she exactly was, the events from the night before a blur. She felt...

Well.

She felt as if she had crashed headfirst into an iceberg going one hounded miles an hour.

So, her hair going at odd angles, and her shirt and skirt wrinkled, she descended the stairs. To see Caxnon and Merlin. Perhaps it was the popping of the toaster that really woke her up. She let out a short yelp and ran back up the stairs, though she had made her presence known, and tried to find a mirror--or some kind of reflective surface so she could make herself look presentable.
